Rural Quiet Historic

Set along State Route 165 about 11 miles south of Columbus, Georgia is Fort Mitchell, This expansive rural area is set around a once-active fort that was set up during the Creek War in the early 1800’s. The fort is now an engaging historic site, providing tours and hosting events year round, but the community around it has grown immensely. New and old housing developments are scattered around Fort Mitchell, including affordable single-family homes.

This is a laidback part of Georgia that lacks the buzzing shopping centers and collections of restaurants. However, with the unique city of Columbus less than 30 minutes north, you can be enjoying a brewery tour or an afternoon of shopping along the river in no time.
